Hey folks,
I went live with David Pakman on short notice because what happened in Minneapolis demanded it. We got straight into the facts, the hypocrisy, and the danger of where this is all heading. We unpack the killing of Alex Pretti, Trump’s shameless reversal on guns, and the terrifying precedent being set when armed federal agents operate with total impunity.
Here are a few moments to jump into:
[00:01:07] Why Trump blaming the victim for his own killing is a massive political and moral break — even by his standards
[00:04:44] The Second Amendment, suddenly… conditional? How Republicans are twisting themselves into knots
[00:08:15] As a gun owner, why I believe gun owners have to be part of the solution — and what Democrats keep getting wrong
[00:11:10] Walking through what actually happened to Alex Pretti step by step — and why the facts are devastating
[00:14:27] David’s warning about escalation, ICE impunity, and how authoritarian crackdowns actually begin
David and I also talk honestly about gun ownership, accountability, and the real political openings Democrats may finally have — if they’re willing to fight. This conversation is for anyone who still believes facts matter, rights matter, and that unchecked power always comes at a human cost. If you value honest conversations like this, help me keep them going.
